How to Set Up for WordPress

Learn how to set up WP Security Ninja on your WordPress site. This guide covers installation, running tests, and understanding the results.

Once you have installed the plugin you can find the plugin in the menu under “Security Ninja”

Security Tests dashboard with Run Tests button

The plugin dashboard page will give you a quick welcome and show you what tests are available for you.

Click the “Run tests” button to get started. The analysis can take a minute or two, and results update as each test finishes.

Please remember, these tests are far from exhaustive in terms of website security testing and even if you score 100% green results, that is no guarantee your website will not be hacked.

If you want to feel more protected from hackers, check out our Security Ninja Pro plugin with firewall protection, malware scanner and much more.

Security test results list with pass and fail statuses

Each test is described with more details about what it is and why you should fix it. Click the button next to each result to see more details about the test.

You can filter the list of tests quickly to narrow down the tests that you need to work with and rerun selected tests.

Some (not all) of the tests has an easy fix in the premium version.

Easy fixes for Premium users

If you are using the premium version some of the issues will have an “Apply fix” button on the test details panel.
